The XII Mediterranean Games introduced several new features into its history. For the first time, they took place in a French region: Languedoc-Roussillon. Furthermore, the periodicity was changed so that the event would take place one year after and not before the Olympic Games, as was the case until then
From the 3 000 athletes representing 19 nations, 13 Monegasque athletes took part in the following events :
- Cycling,
- Golf,
- Judo,
- Shooting,
- Sailing.
